An Investor can lose money by investing in the Contract.
See “PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE CONTRACT” in the prospectus for the Contract. |
| Not a Short-Term Investment |
This Contract is not designed for short-term investing and is not appropriate for an Investor who needs ready access to cash. The Contract is typically most useful as part of a personal retirement plan. Early withdrawals may be restricted by the Tax Code or your plan and may expose you to early withdrawal charges or tax penalties. You should not participate in this Contract if you are looking for a short-term investment or expect to make withdrawals before you are age 59½.
See “PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE CONTRACT” in the full Contract Prospectus. |
| Risks Associated with Investment Options |
An investment in the Contract is subject to the risk of poor investment performance and can vary depending on the performance of the investment options available under the Contract. Each investment option (including the Fixed Interest Options) will have its own unique risks, and you should review these investment options before making an investment decision.
See ‘THE INVESTMENT OPTIONS — The Variable Investment Options” and APPENDIX A and APPENDIX B in the full Contract Prospectus and “APPENDIX: FUNDS AVAILABLE UNDER THE CONTRACT” to this summary prospectus. |
| Insurance Company Risks |
An investment in the Contract is subject to the risks related to ReliaStar Life, including that any obligations, including under the Fixed Interest Options, guarantees or benefits are subject to the financial strength and claims-paying ability of ReliaStar Life. More information about ReliaStar Life, including its financial strength and claims paying ability, is available upon request, by contacting Customer Service.
See “THE CONTRACT — The General Account” in the full Contract Prospectus. |
| RESTRICTIONS | |
| Investment Options | • We reserve the right to limit the number of transfers between investment options, including transfers made under the dollar cost averaging and the automatic reallocation programs. • Generally, you may select no more than 18 investment options at any one time during the Accumulation Phase of your account. Each Subaccount and each Fixed Account selected counts towards this 18 investment option limit; • Some Subaccounts and Fixed Interest Options may not be available in all Contracts or in some states; • There are certain restrictions on transfers into and between the Fixed Interest Options; • The Company reserves the right to combine two or more Subaccounts, close Subaccounts or substitute a new Fund for a Fund in which a Subaccount currently invests; and • The Contract is not designed to serve as a vehicle for frequent transfers.

USP.100207-24 | 6 |
RESTRICTIONS (continued from previous page) | |
| Optional Benefits | • We may discontinue or restrict the availability of an optional benefit; • Benefits available to you may vary based on employer and state approval. Participants should refer to their plan documents for available benefits; and If a participant elects to pay advisory fees from the Variable Investment Options, such deductions will reduce the death benefit amount and also may be subject to federal and state income taxes and a 10% federal tax penalty.
See “THE CONTRACT,” “DEATH BENEFIT,” “SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWAL OPTIONS” and “LOANS” in the full Contract Prospectus. |
| TAXES | |
| Tax Implications | • You should consult with a tax and/or legal adviser to determine the tax implications of an investment in, and distributions received under, the Contract; • There is no additional tax benefit to the Investor if the Contract is purchased through a tax-qualified plan or individual retirement account (“IRA”); and • Withdrawals will be subject to ordinary income tax and may be subject to tax penalties.
See “FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS” in the full Contract Prospectus. |
| CONFLICTS OF INTEREST | |
| Investment Professional Compensation | Although the Contract is no longer offered for new sales, firms and their registered representatives that sold the Contract may receive commissions on additional Purchase Payments paid. This compensation is not paid directly by Contract Holders or the Separate Account. This compensation could influence your investment professional to recommend keeping the Contract.
See “OTHER TOPICS - Contract Distribution” in the full Contract Prospectus. |
| Exchanges | Some investment professionals may have a financial incentive to offer you a new contract in place of the one you own. You should exchange your Contract only if you determine, after comparing the features, fees and risks of both contracts, that it is preferable for you to purchase the new contract rather than continue to own the existing Contract.
See “PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE CONTRACT” in the full Contract Prospectus. |
